Hello, Word Gurus! I have a question regarding List Styles in Word. I
created my numbering and linked Heading styles 1 - 9 with all nine levels in
my list. I named and saved the new style and started list in new document.
Although I linked my heading styles to each level, Word does not recognize
when I try to use in my Table of Contents. Does anyone know how Word 2007
see's these linked styles and how do I get it to recognize for my TOC?

Thanks So MUCH!

It seems that when saving the list style to the template, it looses its
memory and forgets it has linked heading styles. Will the linked styles not
save with List Styles?

Thanks So MUCH!

By default, when you insert a table of contents in Word, the first three heading
levels will be included. Or are you saying that none of your headings show up in
the TOC?

I created a list style and linked each level of numbering to heading levels
1-9 then saved the list style to the normal.dot. When I try to use the list
from a new document, the heading styles are no longer a part of the list
style. They disappear - don't seem to be saved with the list style. The
links disappear when I go to a new document and use the list style. So I
can't get the TOC to work since it's no longer associated with the headings.
(Didn't realize that was what was happening when I first posted.)

You'll have to copy both the list style and the paragraph styles to the
template.

However, to transfer numbering settings between documents, the following
approach will be safer: From a document that has the correct number formatting,
use Save As to create a template. Then create a document based on your new
template and use the Insert File dialog box to bring in an existing document
that you want to reformat.

I'm saying that the linked styles that I create lose their links to the heading styles. I created linked heading styles and when I try to use the Linked style in a new document, the association is totally gone to the heading styles. It doesn't seem to hold the "Links" to linked heading styles I associated with them. (Sorry tried to take a screenshot but it doesn't want to paste.)

Thanks, Stefan - but since I was using Word's default Heading styles 1-9, they should be already in the normal.dot, shouldn't they? In theory, this should work, right? Is it a bug in Word perhaps, or maybe by design?

I was able to duplicate your result. I created a new list style linked to
heading styles and clicked "New documents based on this template" (normal.
dotm). I created a new document based on normal, but though the list style
was there, the list levels were not linked to headings.

I then saved my original document with the new list style as a template.
New documents based on that template retain the list style with linked
headings. I suggest that you do something similar.

Now I realize that I never saw this behavior before because I avoid adding
numbering to normal.dot headings.

List styles are relatively new in Word. I suspect that not many people actually
make use of them, which is why where is limited experience of them.

save with List Styles?

Thanks So MUCH!



.
Thanks, Stefan - but since I was using Word's default Heading styles 1-9,
they should be already in the normal.dot, shouldn't they? In theory, this
should work, right? Is it a bug in Word perhaps, or maybe by design?



.
Thanks so much, Stefan - I've got to teach this to a lot of people and can't
seem to find anything anywhere online or in books on the issue of the links
not sticking.

Have you also tested adding both the list style and the linked paragraph styles
to the template? Does that work better?

I was able to duplicate your result. I created a new list style linked to
heading styles and clicked "New documents based on this template" (normal.
dotm). I created a new document based on normal, but though the list style
was there, the list levels were not linked to headings.

I then saved my original document with the new list style as a template.
New documents based on that template retain the list style with linked
headings. I suggest that you do something similar.

Now I realize that I never saw this behavior before because I avoid adding
numbering to normal.dot headings.

List styles are relatively new in Word. I suspect that not many people
actually make use of them, which is why where is limited experience of them.

Of course I meant to type "there," not "where."

However, to transfer numbering settings between documents, the following
approach will be safer: From a document that has the correct number
formatting,
use Save As to create a template. Then create a document based on your
new
template and use the Insert File dialog box to bring in an existing
document
that you want to reformat.

Hello, Word Gurus! I have a question regarding List Styles in Word.
I
created my numbering and linked Heading styles 1 - 9 with all nine
levels
in
my list. I named and saved the new style and started list in new
document.
Although I linked my heading styles to each level, Word does not
recognize
when I try to use in my Table of Contents. Does anyone know how Word
2007
see's these linked styles and how do I get it to recognize for my TOC?

It seems that when saving the list style to the template, it looses its
memory and forgets it has linked heading styles. Will the linked
styles
not
save with List Styles?

Thanks So MUCH!

When I created the list styles, I was also creating document templates for
proposals. New documents based on those template retain the style settings
of the template and the list style (still linked to the headings).

If I move a list style via the organizer to another document not based on the
same proposal template, the list style is still linked to heading style
_names_ (but the headings style settings will be those of the destination
document).

So I think the list-style-with-links works with everything but normal.dotm.
And for good reason.
